Shy
is around ten months (I don't know really but her vet estimated that
she is around that age). She is a Castor Rex who might have a Belgian
Hare mix as she has very big ears for Rex! I got Shy from a pet store
last December. I lost my beloved French Lop, Sparky, during her teeth
trimming operation so I was not in the mood to get an animal when I
visited the store with my mother. But I can tell you that it was love in
first sight with Shy.

She was hiding her head under her bedding to avoid human contact.
Probably she thought that if she did not see anyone, no one would see
her. This is why I named her Shy. However, the moment I brought her home
she has been everything but shy. Much to my amusement, she chose her
potty point on my couch and her sleeping place on my bed. Time to time
we get into this argument about who sleeps in what side in bed and all
the time I loose the argument after getting a painful nudge on my back.
We resolve the issue by switching sides at the end. She is my only pet
and I love every single minute I spend with her. I love her energetic,
overly excited behavior and her affection to me, and hope to have her
around for a long time to come.
